Disability Awareness Training for Library Staff (Webinar, Thursday, November 27, 2014): "Creating an attitude and atmosphere that values people with disabilities
is foundational to creating an inclusive library. Two contemporary
ways of looking at disability and their relationship to the work of
library staff will be presented in this webinar. It is the integration
of the principles and practices of these two models that supports
library staff to create physical and cognitive accessibility, and to interact with patrons with disabilities in a supportive way. "
